In anticipation for the release of 'Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens,' sci-fi fans will want to consult this Star Wars lightsabers graphic to brush up their knowledge on the iconic weaponry from the series.
'Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens' is looking to be the largest movie release of 2015—and possibly of all time. Before we get there though, there's have another monumental day in Star Wars history to look forward to. 'Force Friday,' or September 4th, 2015 will be the day all of the Star Wars merchandise hits the market. In celebration of this day, and looking back into Star Wars' storied past, HalloweenCostumes.com wanted to take a look at that most iconic weapon of the Star Wars Universe, the lightsaber.
Obi-Wan Kenobi famously calls the lightsaber, "An elegant weapon... for a more civilized age." The recognizable hum and hiss of an activated lightsaber is one of the few nostalgia-inducing noises in popular culture, and the lightsaber is one of the few items that is recognized by almost all generations today.
